Male, any ethnicity, 20s–30s. High rock tenor. A poet. An outsider. A rebellious hero. He is destined to lead the Bohemians against Globalsoft with the power of rock ’n’ roll. Charismatic, idealistic, and defiant—think Neo or Paul Atreides. Electric guitar skills are a plus, not required.
Female, any ethnicity, 20s–30s. Strong rock alto/mezzo. A sharp-witted rebel and outsider. Strong-willed, sarcastic, and searching for her identity. Forms a deep emotional bond with Galileo as they rise together against Globalsoft.
Any gender, any ethnicity, any age. Powerful mezzo-soprano. The ruthless, sophisticated head of Globalsoft. A digital upload—essentially AI—who suppresses live music and individuality. Commanding and terrifying.
Male, any ethnicity, 30s–40s. Tenor/baritone. Killer Queen’s second-in-command. A relentless enforcer of Globalsoft—menacing, precise, and coldly calculated. A ruthless cop.
Male, any ethnicity, 40s–60s. Baritone/tenor. Former leader of the Bohemian rebels. A warm, hippie-like mentor—wise, supportive, and grounded. He guides Galileo with heart and experience.
Male, any ethnicity, 20s–30s. Baritone/tenor. A Bohemian rebel and idealistic dreamer. Deeply committed to restoring music to iPlanet. In love with Oz, though torn between romance and revolution.
Female, any ethnicity, 20s–30s. Mezzo/rock alto. Young, vibrant, and fearless. A symbol of the next generation’s defiance—embodying hope, freedom, and resistance against Killer Queen and Globalsoft.
